History

The kibbutz was established in August 1951 by Jewish immigrants and refugees from Egypt and the Moroccan city of Tangier who had received training in Ein Harod, Ayelet HaShahar and later Afikim. It was temporarily abandoned in 1955, and in January 1957 members of the Mita'arim gar'in moved in.[2]

On 7 October 2023, AP journalists saw four civilians taken from the kibbutz by Hamas militants in the midst of the Gaza−Israel conflict.[3]
